About

grml is a Debian-based Live-CD. It includes a collection of GNU/Linux
software especially for users of texttools and system administrators.
grml provides automatic hardware detection. You can use grml for example
as a rescue system, for analyzing systems/networks or as a working
environment. It is not necessary to install anything to a harddisk, you
don't even need a harddisk to run it, unless you want to (use grml2hd
for this). Due to on-the-fly decompression grml includes about 2.1GB
of software and documentation on the CD.

Whereas grml provides about 2.1 GB of software on a 700 MB ISO,
grml-small is a flavor with only ~75 MB ISO-size (~240 MB
uncompressed). It does not provide a lot of software but the
essential stuff for being a rescue system on a business card CD-ROM
or a small USB device. You can use the Debian package management
system to install software on the fly (assuming you have network
access to a Debian mirror). Take a look at the 'Debian-Information'-section if you are
searching for the package list.

Packages / Software

Details about shipped packages and their versions on grml are
available at the Debian section. See dpkg_get_selections
for a main package listing and dpkg_list for a more detailed
list of packages shipped with grml64-small 2008.11.
